Morning folks!
It’s my last Monday weigh-in and after 8 weeks of (supposedly) focused effort I’ve lost a grand total of….3lbs :-)
I was doing fine until GM came to visit (week 4). I’m not blaming her in the slightest but I haven’t been back in the correct mindset since and have actually put on a couple of pounds during February. It hasn’t helped that I’ve been restricted by the type of exercise I’m able to do at the moment ie nothing too “strenuous”.
We’re back in UK next week and then it will be just 4 weeks until daughter’s wedding and 5 weeks until surgery, so hopefully that will help get me back on track!

Well done, Alice the Camel

Sounds like you've done really well, particularly given the restrictions on what exercise you could do. I'm sure you'll get back on track once in the UK.

Alice: Better 3lbs off than on so well done.It can be hard getting back in the groove.Hopefully once home you will get back on track.Also hard with exercise can you do upper body seated weights?

I am sure the wedding and surgery will spur you on to do well :)

I dropped to 1300 calories a day - just shaved a few off each meal and didn't really notice the reduction. It seems to have helped.
